Swan Lake with stars

The international Ballet Globe Festival, in collaboration with the Abai Kazakh National Opera and Ballet Theatre, invites the people and guests of Almaty to two unforgettable evenings of ballet artistry.

On May 30 and 31, in celebration of the 185th anniversary of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, the immortal music of the great composer will fill the stage once more as one of the most beloved masterpieces of classical ballet - Swan Lake - comes to life.

This legendary ballet tells the poignant tale of Prince Siegfried and Odette, the enchanted swan princess - a narrative of love, inner strength, struggle, and enduring hope. Inspired by folk legends, the libretto was written by Vladimir Begichev and Vasily Geltser, while the final stage version was shaped by the great choreographer Marius Petipa, whose canonical interpretation has captivated the world for generations.

Audiences will witness live classical performances by the ballet company and symphony orchestra of the Abai Kazakh National Opera and Ballet Theatre. The principal roles of Siegfried and Odette–Odile will be performed by renowned soloists from the Bolshoi and Mariinsky Theatres - acclaimed artists known and celebrated around the world.

Start your summer with inspiration and beauty - Ballet Globe unites countries, cultures, and hearts through the universal language of dance.
